ELMBRIDGE BOROUGH COUNCIL (click here for full results on council's website)

The council has gone from 'no overall control' to being controlled by the Conservative Party. The Tories have gained four seats - in Hersham North, Long Ditton, Walton Central and Walton North - and now have a total of 32 councillors. The borough's various residents' associations have three fewer councillors as a result (down to 21), with the Liberal Democrat presence in the council chamber falling from eight members to seven.

MOLE VALLEY DISTRICT COUNCIL (click here for full results on council's website)

The political structure of the council has not changed, but the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have swapped two seats. The Tories took Westcott from the Lib Dems, but Leatherhead North went the other way. The Conservatives therefore still hold power with 22 councillors, compared to 16 Lib Dems and three Ashtead Independents.

REIGATE AND BANSTEAD BOROUGH COUNCIL (click here for full results on council's website)

The council is still led by the Tories but they now have 39 seats instead of 41 after losing one to an Independent candidate and another to the Liberal Democrats. So as well as the Conservative majority in the council chamber, there are now two Independent councillors, three Lib Dems, one from Labour and six Residents’ Association members.

RUNNYMEDE BOROUGH COUNCIL (click here for full results on council's website)

It is a case of "as you were" in Runnymede with none of the seats being contested changing hands. The Conservatives have held on in 12 of the wards with elections taking place, while the Runnymede Independent Residents' Group continues to hold sway with the voters in Egham Town and Thorpe. The council's political balance remains at 36 Tories and six Independent councillors.

TANDRIDGE DISTRICT COUNCIL (click here for full results on council's website)

The Conservatives are still in charge of the council, and they now have two more councillors than they did before the polls opened. The Tories won Queens Park and Warlingham East, Chelsham & Farleigh from the Liberal Democrats, as well as Valley from Independent councillor Peter Longhurst, but they did lose Westway to the Lib Dems.

WOKING BOROUGH COUNCIL (click here for full results on council's website)

The Conservatives have retained power in the council chamber after a spot of election swapping with the Liberal Democrats. The Tories took seats in Brookwood and Horsell West from the Lib Dems, but they lost councillors in Knaphill and Maybury & Sheerwater. The end result though is that the parties have still got the same number of council members as before - 19 and 17 respectively.
